Abstract
Telecare and Telemedicine services are a technology-based replacement for in-homecare services provided primarily to the elderly and consumers recovering from certain ailments. While these services are mostly successful in the pilot
stages they tend to fail in real life settings. One major reason for this failure may be attributed to security issues associated with these services. This research
attempts to identify the various Telecare/Telemedicine-related areas whose security issues need to be addressed. The research looks at the work conducted in the field and the issues still to be addressed.
